    Chapter 92: Xiao Yu = Commander-in-Chief

    He set aside the files, lost in thought.

    Just as doubts swirled in his mind, Xiao Yu was about to conduct the meeting.

    Suddenly.

    【Ding: Case trigger successful.】

    【Gender Police Case Check-in Activated.】

    【Would the host like to check in?】

    Huh?

    Xiao Yu froze for a moment.

    Could a case like this trigger a check-in too?

    He had never heard of a jailbreak suspect who could slip past the police.

    In the old days, maybe one could hide for a couple of years.

    Nowadays… stop dreaming.

    If anyone manages six months on the run, then I’m finished!

    Is the system giving out perks?

    Check-in… Xiao Yu murmured inwardly.

    【Ding: Congratulations, host! Case check-in successful!】

    【System Reward: Ability – Red Hacker Expert!】

    【System Task Issued: Solve the Jailbreak Murder Case!】

    【Time Limit: Fifteen days!】

    【Complete the task within the time limit for an additional system skill: Bear Force!】

    【Fail the task within the time limit and the system ability granted to the host will be revoked!】

    【Task countdown begins…】

    After the system’s endless babble, Xiao Yu’s scalp felt numb and he was utterly stunned.

    What was the previous system task again?

    Solving the Strange Murder Case!

    How powerful was the criminal they faced?

    And what was the outcome?

    What was the case time limit?

    Ten days!

    Given Xiao Yu’s usual nonchalance with the system… oh no, I mean understanding.

    The duration reflects the case’s difficulty.

    A fifteen-day limit.

    Can you imagine what kind of case this might be?

    Even more horrifying than the Strange Murder Case?

    In any event, Xiao Yu was a bit reluctant to think about it.

    But… here comes the highlight.

    Bear Force?

    Xiao Yu’s eyes lit up.

    It was clear this skill was tied to physical stamina and strength.

    What was his current weakness?

    Stamina and strength!

    During the last arrest of Ku Shi, he nearly lost the case from exhaustion.

    Imagine if he acquired the ‘Bear Force’ – endless energy, immense strength…

    The thought alone was thrilling!

    Before he could finish envisioning a brighter future,

    an endless stream of computer knowledge, operations, and network technologies

    flooded Xiao Yu’s mind like a tide, taking over and etching itself into him.

    Xiao Yu was both baffled and shocked.

    Could it really be Red Hacker Expert?

    and not… a hacker?

    A Red Hacker is someone who protects national interests using network skills, never invading their own country’s systems.

    They’re the hackers who uphold justice and bring honor to their nation!

    In plain terms, a Red Hacker embodies a spirit.

    A spirit of loving the country, upholding justice, and forging ahead.

    They master their technology to secure domestic networks.

    and counter any external attacks.

    Simply put, they are a group of justice-driven… hackers!

    Plus, this world isn’t just about hackers and red hackers – there are also blue hackers and gray hackers.

    These roles may seem similar as computer experts, but they differ greatly in essence!

    Xiao Yu was overwhelmed.

    The system had forcibly made him a top-tier computer expert.

    Judging by the previous abilities granted by the system,

    he was among the very best even in expert circles!

    And then, considering the task’s time limit,

    this case was clearly more complicated than it appeared.

    Xiao Yu’s chest tightened with dread.

    He felt uneasy – it was as if the system was setting him up!

    “Xiao Yu, what do you think?”

    Suddenly, a voice rang out.

    It snapped Xiao Yu out of his daydream.

    Da Ju Yun Xiangguo was addressing him.

    All eyes in the meeting room turned toward Xiao Yu.

    Some looked puzzled, some shocked, others bewildered.

    Before the meeting began, Yun Xiangguo had brought Xiao Yu, a junior cop, to attend.

    Everyone found it odd.

    Then, during the meeting, Da Ju explicitly called on the junior cop for his input.

    Of course, many remembered Xiao Yu.

    It was during the notorious ‘Massacre Case’ that Da Ju had singled him out to join the Special Investigation Team.

    And he had solved the case!

    What could I possibly say… Xiao Yu stood up, his expression solemn.

    In his head, he thought: I’ll watch it from here – sitting, lying down, even rolling on the floor!

    No wonder Xiao Yu couldn’t help but mentally rant.

    He had barely reviewed two profiles of jailbreak suspects.

    There was no clue or lead he had even touched upon.

    So what advice could he possibly offer?

    “I have no opinions.”

    Xiao Yu played it cool, declaring with firm resolve, “I’ll follow any orders you give.”

    “Good, that’s what I was waiting for.”

    A beaming Yun Xiangguo dismissed the shocked Xiao Yu and addressed everyone in the room, “Then, this Jailbreak Murder Case will be led by the City Bureau, with Comrade Xiao Yu as the main lead. All departments are to fully cooperate. Any objections?”

    Damn… Xiao Yu nearly spat blood out.

    He could sense Yun Xiangguo’s deep teasing tone.

    What kind of situation was this?

    Not only was Xiao Yu stunned, but the leaders from other units were equally dumbfounded.

    Yet Yun Xiangguo remained solemn, not at all joking.

    Why would he dare to play such games?

    Because he’d recently received some news.

    Xiao Yu had led and commanded National Security personnel in cracking a major Level C case!

    You heard that right.

    He led, he commanded – not just assisted!

    At the time, even Yun Xiangguo, like everyone present, was utterly flabbergasted.

    He was dumbfounded, thunderstruck, and in sheer disbelief.

    How young is Xiao Yu?

    How short is his service record?

    How high is his rank?

    He was a rookie cop with barely two or three months on the force.

    Yet he commanded a team of National Security officers to crack cases.

    If this were anyone else, who would dare believe it?

    But this was all true – the source of the news was impeccable.

    Because old leaders would never mislead Yun Xiangguo!

    With abilities like Xiao Yu’s,

    commanding National Security officers and leading a City Bureau force was no issue at all.

    Absolutely no problem!

    What impressed Yun Xiangguo the most wasn’t whether Xiao Yu could command National Security,

    but his remarkable case-solving skills.

    My God, a major Level C case!

    With over twenty years on the force, Yun Xiangguo was a proper veteran of criminal investigations, the head of the city’s police system, yet he had no right to touch this case.

    Meanwhile, young Xiao Yu had single-handedly cracked it!

    What was this?

    Talent!

    Since you know there’s a hidden dragon in your territory,

    and a jailbreak murder case has erupted,

    any sane leader would tap Xiao Yu immediately.

    If you were in Yun Xiangguo’s shoes, would you hesitate to use him?

    Yun Xiangguo sitting at the helm of the City Bureau isn’t a fool.

    Not using him would be downright stupid!

    Amid everyone’s befuddled looks,

    the appointment miraculously went through.

    Xiao Yu was now the Commander-in-Chief on the Jailbreak Murder Case.

    The entire city police force was at his disposal!
